Can't sync music on my iPhone 3.0

Question

Can't sync music on my iPhone 3.0

I have an original 8GB iPhone.. and since I updated it I haven't been able to sync my music, I can sync anything but the music, includding apps and photos, but when I try to sync the music, it gets synced but when it's finished syncing it appears a message saying that there was an unknown error and it can't be synced, and it appears in iTunes that my music is in the iPhone.. but it isn't!

This error just appears when I try to sync music, and it's not a Playlist because I already tried diferent playlists and it's still not working, and this started happening since I updated my iPhone

Please someone help me, I am going on vacation soon and I really need my music to travel 😟

Thank you for reading.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 8GP iPhone

Well, this may or may not help but it is an idea...

Try syncing music manually. The choice is on the first screen of syncing. If you select this box, iTunes expect you to drag your music from the music library onto the iphone and it will sync right then.

In other words, if you connect your phone, select "Manually manage music and videos ", then you can start dragging music from the library to the phone. Each playlist or group of songs you drag will sync immediately. This should help you determine if it is something in the music that does not sync

AND manual syncing of music applies to ringtones, videos, rented movies and tv shows. I"m not saying its easier or more fun, just another way to sync that might help.

Ok, I bought a song from iTunes directly from the iPhone, and when I connected my iPhone to iTunes the song was transfered to my iTunes.. but it was erased from my iPhone and I can't even sync it back because it appears the same error message!

Now I don't know what to do, I'm totally lost.

Please help me Apple!!!

Hey Oregon Farmer,

Thanks for the tidbit. I was never able to sync automatically with the iTunes, but I was able to click and drag manually like you mentioned. It worked for my 3GS

Thanks again
